Hi rpnpif,

> Converting videos with avconv/ffmpeg

ffmpeg is deprecated in Libav project (which is upstream for Debian libav packages),
only avconv should be used when possible.

Maybe, the default avconv encoding settings are non-optimal,
or smth. else is wrong with avconv...

Please update libav-tools to a newer version
(it seems you're already using squeeze-backports, and now it has 6:0.8.5-1~bpo60+1 version).

If the problem still persists with a new avconv version, please post an output log.
